PHP - Output and String Handling
Which of the following PHP code snippets will cause a syntax error due to incorrect string interpolation?
Aecho "Your score is {$score}";
Becho "Price is $price$";
Cecho "Value: $value[0]";
Decho "Hello, $name!";
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Analyze each option for syntax correctness
Options B, C, and D use valid interpolation syntax. echo "Price is $price$";: echo "Price is $price$"; ends with a dollar sign immediately after variable, causing confusion.
Step 2: Understand why echo "Price is $price$"; fails
PHP expects variable name after $, so "$price$" is invalid syntax.
Final Answer:
echo "Price is $price$"; -> Option B
Quick Check:
Invalid variable syntax = syntax error [OK]
Quick Trick:Avoid placing $ immediately after variable without braces [OK]
Common Mistakes:
Appending characters directly after variable without braces
Misusing array syntax inside strings
Forgetting to close quotes
